In ‘72 my older brother rode cross country from San Fran to Rehobeth Beach Delaware on a Schwinn Super Sport. He was with the Christian athletic group Wondering Wheels.
Those Schwinn’s were built to last.
Your trip as a junior in high school took cajones!
It was fun ......track, cross-country, football and scouting kept me fit for that endurance try out ..... fun. Thanks for the kind words.....
